Michael McDowell and Leavine Family Racing (LFR) are eager to get back to short track racing at Bristol Motor Speedway for the Food City 500. LFR is also looking forward to supporting Carter Wilkerson, an overnight Twitter celebrity, in his quest for free Wendy’s chicken nuggets for a year. Carter has already achieved the impossible, reaching over 3.1 million retweets on Twitter out of the 18 million ask. Iconic brands have already shown their support for Carter, and LFR wants the NASCAR community and the large social media presence to join in supporting Carter’s campaign. ‘I am blown away by all of the support! said Wilkerson. ‘It all started out just for fun. I just really wanted some chicken nuggets. Now, we’ve raised more than $100,000 for charity and it just keeps growing. I’ve just about beat Ellen, and I’m Twitter verified. I’m excited to see what’s next. LFR will feature a large decal on the TV panel of the #95 WRL Chevy with the Twitter hashtag #NuggsForCarter. The racing community can easily support Carter by going to LFR’s Twitter @LFR95 and retweeting the original tweet from Wilkerson’s account.(Leavine Family Racing)[More]
